Chords:
This is a cool song and pretty easy to play. Don't know if I have it exactly right, but it sounds good if you sing along. Any comments/corrections, chuck 'em in the comments thingy. Enjoy! *************************************************************** This is a song about prejudice And the language of prejudice And the power of the language of... prejudice It's called PrejudiceAmIn our modern free spoken societyGThere is a word that we still hold tabooF EA word with a terrible history of being used to abuse oppress and subdueAm GJust six seemingly harmless letters arranged in a way that will form a wordF EWith more power than the pieces of metal that are forged to make swordsF G AmA couple of G's an R and an E an I and an NF G EJust six little letters all jumbled together have caused damage that we may never mendAm G And it's important that we all respect that if these people should happen to choose toF EReclaim the word as their own it doesn't mean the rest of you have a right to it's useAm GSo never under estimate the power that language impartsF ESticks and stones may break your bones but words can break heartsF GA couple of G's; geez unless you have had to live it, an R and an E; even I am careful with itAm G FAn I and an aNd in the end it will only offend don't want to have to spellEit out againAm G F E G Am x2 YeahAm G F E GOnly a ginger can call another ginger gingerAm G F E G Only a ginger can call another ginger gingerFSo listen to me if you care for your healthG EYou wont call me ginger less your ginger yourselfAm G F E GOnly a ginger can call another ginger gingerAm GWhen you are a ginger life is pretty hardF EYears of ritual bullying in the school yardAm GKids calling you ranga and fanta pantsF ENo invitation to the high school danceAm GBut you get up and learn to hold your head upF EYou try to keep your cool and not get het upAm GBut until the feeling of ill is truly let upF EThen the word is ours and ours alone don't you know*The rest of the song is the same chord progression* Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger So if you call us ginge we just might come unhinged If you don't have a fringe with at least a tinge of the ginge in it Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger Now listen to me we're not looking for sympathy Just because we are sensitive to UV Just because we're pathetically pale We do alright with the females Yeah I like to ask the ladies round for ginger beer And soon they're running their fingers through my ginger beard And dunking my ginger nuts into their ginger tea And asking if they can call me ginge And I say I don't think that's appropriate Cus only a ginger can call another ginger ginger Only a ginga can call another ginga ginga And all the ladies agree it's a fact once you've gone ginge you can't go back Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger Yeah go ginge go you funky ginge Yeah funky ginge mofo Yeah you can call us bozo or fire truck You can even call us carrot top or blood nut Yeah you can call us match stick or tampon But f**king with the G word is just not on If you're a ginger bowl and you don't like us You gonna stand up to the fight if you want to fight us But if you cut yourself you might catch gingervitus So maybe you should shut your funky mouth Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger So if you call us ginge you can't winge if your injured If you don't have a tinge of the ginge in your minge Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger yeah And you know my kids will always be clothed and fed Cus papa's going to be bringing home the ginger bread And they'll be pretty smart because they'll be well read And by read I mean read and the other kind of red wooo Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger wooo Only a ginga can call another ginga ginga Just like only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja Yeah only a ginger only a ginger only a ginger yeah Are you listen-inga I'm not pointing the finga I'm just having a singa I'm just right in yeah But only a ginger can call another ginger Ginger
